Property Bansko Bulgaria

Bansko is known for its skiing, and it has good snow from December to April, and often into May. The Bansko ski area is particularly good for beginners and intermediates. The slopes of Todorin Vruh are the best spot for novices, with gentle slopes and long runs from the chair lift. There is also access to some good off-piste skiing and snowboarding.

If you are interested in property in the Bansko area, there is plenty for investors. From land upon which to build, to existing houses and apartments to off-plan property, there is something for every investor in this mountain resort. With its location in the southwest of Bulgaria far from the major cities, there is plenty of land available, from large tracts to small building plots ready for construction.

For those who are interested in off plan or modern apartments and homes, there is a wide array of options. One new property that is under construction and planned for a later 2008 opening, just in time for ski season, is the Kiora Residences. This residential apartment building is located just a few minutes walk from the ski lifts and has great views and plenty of amenities for owners and renters. One-bedroom and studio apartments are available for less than €50,000, with larger units a bit more.

Another year round resort property is the Universe Ski, Golf and Casino Resort, scheduled for opening in mid 2009. This deluxe property will be located next to the Pirin Golf Course designed by Ian Woosnam. It is also near skiing and hiking, plus it will have lots to offer for nightlife with a casino and restaurant on the premises. Studio apartments begin at less than €45,000, and there are one and two bedroom apartments available.

There are plenty of pre-existing houses, villas and apartments that are also available for move in right away. Many of these are in new developments with modern construction and facilities, while there are also some older properties that offer the charms of a country villa. For outdoor activities and nature lovers, Bansko has something for just about everyone. For those who want to visit, there are a number of popular resort hotels and spas that can accommodate you, whether you have a family or come alone.

Sofia has the nearest major airport (SOF), and is served by many carriers. It is approximately 160 kilometers to the north, and is just about a 3 hour drive by car or coach. There is regular bus service from Sofia to Bansko and surrounding towns, and also major car rental agencies in the capital city at the airport.
